“In this luminous work, Roza Nozari bridges the void between what’s been lost and what endures. Her story doesn't seek to erase the fractures but to honor them, showing how, even in a life of displacement, pieces of “home” can be found in the quietest, most unexpected corners. All the Parts We Exile reminds us how trauma shapes us, not by breaking us, but by etching traces of where we’ve been, making us whole again, piece by piece.” —Samra Habib, author of We Have Always Been Here: A Queer Muslim Memoir

“Thought-provoking and meditative, All the Parts We Exile brings the plight of strong willed daughters, immigrant parents and their personal histories into clear empathetic light. Nozari’s prose is nuanced and wrought with imagery, vivid and eloquent all at once. The memoir is symphonic in scope: orchestrating excruciating rites of familial identity, radical self-acceptance, loss, and personal growth. A talented writer and artist, Nozari deftly charts a moving history that is both complex and mesmerizing, sweeping across timelines and through the queer spaces of Toronto and Iran. A dazzling opus of what it means to be a person grasping for answers of belonging and emerging transformed. Nozari’s journey invites readers to rethink the immigrant family narrative.” —Lindsay Wong, author of The Woo-Woo and Tell Me Pleasant Things about Immortality

“All the Parts We Exile wraps an immigrant, coming of age, and coming out story around each other, probing the question: how do we exist and fully belong across identities? A fearless exploration of the visceral longing for home, a reckoning with trauma, grief, and displacement, and an ode to the healing power of artmaking, this is an exquisitely written, honest, tender and enthralling memoir.” —Carmen Aguirre, author of Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter
